Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

x ≈ 6.6, y ≈ 13.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle to find x

tan30° = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$ = $\frac{BC}{AB}$ = $\frac{x}{11.5}$ ( multiply both sides by 11.5 )

11.5 × tan30° = x , then

x ≈ 6.6 ( to the nearest tenth )

Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle to find y

cos30° = $\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{AB}{AC}$ = $\frac{11.5}{y}$ ( multiply both sides by y )

y × cos30° = 11.5 ( divide both sides by cos30° )

y = $\frac{11.5}{cos30}$ ≈ 13.3
